Financial stress can drastically impact employees’ wellbeing and work performance. In fact, a recent report revealed that 60% of employees facing financial issues were unable to focus during work. Financial institutions are well positioned to help employees manage their finances more effectively with the right education, tools, and guidance.

Traditionally, the financial industry has been primarily focused on shareholders’ wealth over consumer advocacy. Today, we’re seeing a shift in the financial industry—well-funded startups and big tech innovators are winning consumers’ hearts by using data to promote advocacy and deliver better experiences. Overall, there are two main trends that are driving change: increase consumer choice and decrease in friction to change. To become an innovator in the space and disrupt the norm, financial institutions must shift to a data-driven mindset—inherently focusing on consumer obsession and putting the customer first.

How do you use data to exceed user demands?

Join Erin Caldwell, Director of Client Education at MX, and John Schulte, CIO at Mercantile Bank, to see what it takes to better leverage your data and exceed user demands.

- How Mercantile Bank uses AI and data analytics to improve the user experience.

When users see dirty transaction data, they don’t get upset with the vendor or the card provider. They get upset with you. They dial up your call center and drain your employee’s time, trying to figure out what the transaction refers to.

How do you take garbage data and turn it into something users can actually make sense of?

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

- Clean dirty data descriptions such as “CSTxx 04ROTER XXX726” so users just see the company name. (In this case, “Costco.”)
- Categorize all transactions with the greatest accuracy on the market — a full 30 percentage points more accurate than the closest competitor
- Classify transaction data by type (such as fee, bill pay, remote deposit, and more)

You’re sitting on a goldmine of data, but if the data isn’t clean, categorized, and classified, it’s no good to you or your users.
